''The style Of check" said bank
cashier TO a reporter, lis often pretty
good indication of the character Of the
firm or individual that makes it. The
newer the account of a man in bank
the bigger his checks, is an almost invari-
able rule. \ man who has milliOns-men,
for instance, like Armour and Marshall,
Field and PUllman-use small checks, or,
at least, medium sized ones. They are
made of good paper, but they are quiet
and businesSlike. But Pumpkin, Hay
seed x Co, WHO run a Shingle mill in
Michigan, aid who have only been bank
ing for a few months, have pictures and
their names spread over big colored checks
that look like three sheet posters. On
country checks nearly always there IL a
pictrre in one corner of the building oc-
cupied by the man whose name is signed
at the bottom, sometimes print OF his
daughter or his wife sdOrnS the paper,
and then his own countenance il at the
margin Then he has his name printed
in big black letters over half the check,
and his address over most the rest, and in
the middle. in little letters, there is the
name of the bank sin which he has his
money The banks supply check books
to their customers, but most people have
their own printed.
Sometimes the boys, when they are
not doing anything else, amuse themselves
by drawing pictures on the checks, and
the bald headed president of the Oshkosh
Incubator company, who has put repro
duction of his classic features where 1t
will attract attention, finds 10 his sur
prise, when the check is returned, that he
has beautiful head of auburn hair, and
that his lonely but unique siEgle chin
whisker has been joined by an elegant
pointed mustsche and James Russell

dow. is added This makes "a bank clerk,
life worth living. But you can put it
down as a pretty sure thing that when a
firm is in the country, or is starting fake
business with plenty Of wind in the city,
it will spread itself on checks, hut if it is a
solid house of good standing and heavy
backing the chances are that its checks
will be almost severe in their medesty. -

Politics and sfunicipaI reform.

Permit me, however, 10
suggest few general principles which,
IL seems to me. must underlic any sue
cessful municipal structure, whatever
be its form. And first / would an
nounce, not at all as new idea, but
as one which can not be too often re-
peated, or too thoroughly emphasized,
that there must BE- n radicdi and n per
pctuat dlCorcc bctscceH partisan politics
and the management Of municipal
a6afrs.
There is no natural connection be-
tween these interests A municipal
corporation is purely business in
stitution. II has 10 do with matters
of sanitation, with sewers, pavements,
docks, police. and public buildings. 1t
maintains parks, and 10 some extent
regulates railroad and gas companies.
and provides the city with supply of
water. IL collects and disburses the
public revenue. establishes and main
tains fire-brigade. lights and cleans
the streets, regulates and inspects the
public markets. These and all other
duties which are appropriately de-
volved upon the corporation demand,
for their successful and efficient dis
charge, business tact and skill, honesty,
and fair share of common sense.
There is no legitimate duty which
municipal officer win perform either
better or worse because he is Demo-
crat, Republican, or an Independent
There is no more reason for inquiring
into the political sentiments of mayor
or any subordinate municipal officer
than there is for asking as to the polit-
ical preferences of bank president, a
railway president, or the members of
the board of directors of either of such
corporations.
The city government has no political
functions. 1t can not determine any
question of finance, or tariff, or do
mestic or foreign policy. 1t is merely
a business agency for managing those
specific affairs which have been placed
in its care. and it will be most success
full and efficient when it is administered
by officers who are selected on account
of their special adaptation to the work |
which they are expected to PERFORM
